USA: Israel may have violated international law
Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv (meeting October 18, 2023)

The US supports Israel in its fight against the terrorist Hamas. But a US government report raises doubts, whether Israel in its offensive respects international law.

The American government considers it possible that Israel with American weapons violates international law in the military offensive in the Gaza Strip. In a report of the US Department of State, it is stated that with the weapons that the US has made available, Israel may have violated international law in the Gaza Strip.

However, the war prevents US representatives from determining this with certainty in each airstrike, said the US report to Congress. The restriction imposed, that it cannot be determined whether certain attacks by Israeli forces can be linked to US weapons, allows the US government leeway in the future if it can limit the delivery of offensive weapons to the ally. Currently the support with American weapons continues.

Biden had requested the report

The report was requested by President Biden. After pressure from congressional Democrats, the US president issued a directive saying that the government for the first time must publicly assess whether Israel is using bombs and other security weapons provided by the US in its conflicts with the Palestinians. . The Ministry of Defense and the Department of State must now, with this directive, review reports that the Israeli military uses weapons in a way that does not coincide with international law. The ministries must notify Congress if Israel restricts or impedes aid to the civilian population from the US.

Israel itself has stated that it respects international law and investigates allegations of ill-treatment by its security forces. The mission in Gaza is proportionate to the existential threat posed by the terrorist organization Hamas, Israel says.
